Solution

The correct option is A NCl3>PCl3>AsCl3>SbCl2>BiCl3
The ease of hydrolysis of trichlorides of group 15 elements decreases in the order NCl3>PCl3>AsCl3>SbCl2>BiCl3.
With increase in the metallic character of elements, the halides become more ionic and their tendency towards hydrolysis (the tendency for the ion of the elements to form a covalent bond with a hydroxide ion from water) decreases.
